"U mean to say I would hav picked u up so to save ur fare" he nodded his head it was unreliable...

" Auuu ..." it pained him
"Auuu...r u Shakti Kapoor...uska favorite dialogue maar rahe ho what I said answer me that "she shakes her arm with full force.
"I m not Shakti Kapoor ..u pinched me ..What u expect ? I should grin hu..!! N u what u think of urself Karina Kapoor. ? jo ghar se bhagti rehti hai ...i that movie what's the name of movie " He pulled her hand toward him n she had to jump from bench..Workaholic Maan how could he remember movie's name ?...It was Daddi forced him to sit with her and to watch it...so remembered plot a bit...
" Why don't u become my Shahid Kapoor...kitna maza aaye-aga ... hainaaa Maan" she claped and gave pushed him hard on chest in excitement
He was about to fall on ground suddenly grabbed bench arm..
"Have u gone mad...? Main wo tumhari Jab We Mat wala hero nahi jo tumko without reason bhagata firre n even that for some one else n why the way mujhe kya jaroorat hai tumko bhagane ki" giving a tough look Maan jerked her shoulder...
" If u can run away from home n office then mujhe help nahi kar sakte..." she replied in dominant tone " You always help Papa n Papa helps u...Then why not me ? " She regretted pouting lips...
"Wah what a logic.We do business okey "This crazy girl miffed him more...
"Such bollo Maan...this business is responsible for your miserable condition..You need rest..Peace of mind.."she whispered near to his ear..
" On piece of mind ..so now u give me peace of mind for some time " He folded both hand in front of her..
" Go to ur side mujhe bhi aaram karne do..until Adi mere shoes nahi ke kar aa jata"Diverting him from silly topic he requested to get rid of her..
(Addi was her sister Nano's class fellow so he was ghar ka na ghat ka in between Khuraanas and Hands ) " Haaa...Maan !! " her eyes were on stake finding him barefoot...
" Apke jutte ..Main to sirf hanky bhuli ghar per u forget ur shoes.It means u r in worse condition than me"she placed her head on his shoulder sympathetically.
"No u make my condition more worse I m going Aunty Ji aap so jaaea " He was about to leave even from here...But he rooted to spot with sudden cry of Geet..
" Aaa ha aaa haa...Mummy ? " đ Geet was crying aloud but in reality she was just pretending to stop him...
He came near to her " Now whats this...kyo gala phaad rahi ho"
" Ro rahi hu dikhta nahi.Andhay ho " she paused her cry n yelled .Maan suddenly take on step back ward like Geet gonna eat him raw..
"Mere jutte nahi warna ek jutta isko marta aur ek apne aap ko.One for her acts n one for me...That why I came here...?" He mumbled..
" Waise apne kush kaha ? " suspicious Geet gave side glare...
"Nahi main soch raha tha tumhari aawaz kitni kamal ki hai when u speak aloud or cry aloud ...?"He teased...
" Sachi !!! "She gasped "Alas !!! Papa had same effect as on u...I mean meri aawaz k asar se jaise aap wapis aa gaye...kash mere Papa bhi sun lete to main bhagti kyo "she pouted...
"Okey tell me why u ran away ?" He asked curiously to find her reason. ..He sat on bench n also pulled her to sit next to him..
" Mujhe bhagna pada u know.Today is my interview for my admission in Canadian University " she made puppy face...
" Then what ?"
'I don wanna go out of India.But Papa is forcing me..kehte hai yeh hamari parampara(tradition ) hai..My GP did that...Chachu..Papa..n my super smart Didi Nano she did same..." crossed legged she sits on bench
" U r lucky enough to get chance.Ask people who struggle hard for admission. I went to US University same did Dev. Then whats problem ? "She increased his confusion more..
"I want to stay with Maa..Can't go away from my mummy...n Papa says if I decide to stay here..He wil not pay my fees.." she sniffed
'Then what u think ? With ur this act...ur problems gonna be sought out..I think no ? " how stupid she is Maan thought ..
" At least aaj k liye kaafi hai..." she smirked and winked..
"Aaj k liye kaafi hai..means ur intention is to threaten ur family" in amazement Maan said
" No..no..they know I gonna come back this is just my way to postpone things.But this time I m serious...Is liye 5 baje ki jagah 4 baje bhagi hi " she giggled.
" U usually run away ? " shocked he said.
" No casually " Geet corrected .
'Oh great but what u planned for next time ?' Maan said...
" Socha nahi but apko lagta nahi..I may b hungry..Kush kha k he sochti hu ? " She grabbed his bicep and rested her head over shoulder..
" So what ? " he tried to jerked her away..
"Mujhe khana la kar dejiye " She ordered...
" U casually do this at least khana le kar bhaga karo na" Maan adviced
~Chapter 5~
"Kitchen k bahar hamare Ram Dulare (old servant) Kaka sote hai raat ko ..how is this possible then.." she gripped her arms around his biceps more tightly
" Then evening ko rakh liya karo ?"Things were going over his head..Maan got frustrated
" I kept but when I came out of home...I felt hungry so maine sarra ka saara kha liya'"But she was really serious...
"Aab mera sar bacha hai khaane ko...? "he mumbled..
"Ji apne kush kaha ? " Geet asked
" Ji Nahi meri itni himmat " he replied..
"Then what about my khana" Geet repeated same
Maan thought for a while.Suddenly he heard temple bells.Smile spread on his lips.Which she noticed..
" Maan why r u smiling ? " She jerked Maan's shoulder..
" Wo Mandir ki ghanti baji na" He diverted her attention toward temple.
freed self and got up..
" Mujhe bhi sunai di...per kush dikhyi bhi diya " She giggled looking Maan head to toe..
" Kya dikhai diya " Checked his dress..If there was any wardrobe malfunctioning...he crosses his arms on his chest n stood like a statue..
"Mujhe to dikha ...uske sath kush aur bhi dikha aab " Geet had understood what he was thinking so saying this she burst in laughter ...Maan took back steps on faster pace..
She stepped toward him." Dekho Geet piche raho mere pass mat aana " he had his arms still in same position..He warned Geet.
"Ha main to wahi thi ..but apko reverse gear lag gaya hai...đ " she ran toward Maan n forcibly put his arms down ..
" Jayo tum yahan se?" he yelled..
"Wasie aap jo soch rahe hai waisa kush nahi hai..."Geet cleared his confusion at last..
"Sach main..?"Maan sighed in relief...
" Waise apko kya pata hai main kya soch rahi thi..Waise main yeh dekha k aap mandir ki ghanti sun kar kush ho rahe they ..Aap kabhi haste nah..So every one nera to u should hav a bell to cheer u up' she said advised him giving wonderful idea..
" Oh main soch raha tha tumko us mandir se parsad le lena chahea ...tumhare khaane ka intzaam ho jaaega" he rested hands on waist..
'Haaa itne burre din aa gaye Maan apke khana khilane k liye paise bhi nahi..But also for ur kind information Mandir naha kar jaate hai ' she seriously corrected him..
" Paise mere pass bahut paise hai dekho.."he fumbled for his wallet But failed.He then realized ..his wallet in his waist coat." Wo to meri car main hai "
" Wah kya excuse hai rukiye.." she gav a 500 hundred rupees note from her beg to Maan.
" Kya karu iska ? " Maan waved note in air...
'Maine bhagte bhagte thakk gayi hu..Itni ealy morning na bus na taxi.. Isliye jaaea wo saamne tea stall hai na ..take two cups of tea n some thing to eat.' saying this she sat cross legged on bench again..
"Main jaao...kyo...waise main cha-a nahi pita...so I am not going..."he denied ..
"If I ordered two cups it doesn't mean that its for u...I want to hav lil bit more of tea n u can keep change...Apke pass to paise hai he nahi " what Maan said she ignored and placed order again..
" What ? " he shook head in disbelief...
" Ya jae-a na jab tak main thod late lu" she laid herself on bench n closed her eyes.
Shocked Maan was just glaring her..
" Yahi mauka hai yaha se kisak lu " Maan murmured.
" Sochiye bhi na aisa..." she got up bench ..picked her beg on opposite bench...fumbled for some thing..that was a knife
'"yeh yeh kya hai tum mujhe marogi...bachaooo...Daddi Maa" Maan shouted
" Chup bilkul chup...yeh Rampuri hai..Generally I keep it for my safety but agar apne koi chaalaki ki to main apna murder kar lungi. jaaea apna kaam kijiye.." she threatened him
Maan ran away from there with in seconds .Geet laughed alound "Kon kehta hai Maan Singh Khuraana ko sher se chuha nahi banaya ja sakta.If I made him chuha then it means I can control Papa by Maan"
her devil mind was kitting some plan...
